==Economy==
Historically, Fredericktown derived much of its prosperity from the mining of [[lead]] and other deposits in the surrounding region (especially [[nickel]]); however, the center of production gradually moved further north and west, and the last mine in the vicinity closed in 1961.<ref>https://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2008/5140/pdf/Chapter1.pdf</ref> Today, the city's chief economic activity revolves around county government, as well as its being the principal market between Farmington and Poplar Bluff. Most of the population is employed in education, health care, and retail trade, with the Fredericktown School District, Madison Medical Center, and [[Wal-Mart]] being among the largest employers.
The area has two public airports: A. Paul Vance Fredericktown Regional Airport, located three miles north of downtown and operated by the city, and the privately-owned Phillips Airport, four miles to the east.<ref>https://www.airnav.com/airport/H88</ref>
